Abstract
Global demand to exceed $110 billion in 2010
Demand for material handling products worldwide is projected to expand over four percent per year through 2010 to more than $110 billion, an acceleration from the pace of the 2000-2005 period. The US, Japan and Germany are the world's largest producers of material handling products. Germany and Japan are major net exporters, although China is expected to become an increasingly important global supplier.
China, other Asia/Pacific and Eastern Europe nations offer best growth prospects
Developing parts of the world will provide suppliers with some of the best sales opportunities going forward. Industrialization- related fixed investment activity, rising per capita incomes and growth in manufacturing output will all contribute to gains in equipment demand in these areas, most notably in the Asia/Pacific and Eastern Europe regions. China will record the largest growth of any national market in dollar terms. Sales conditions are also expected to be strong in India, Russia, Mexico and South Korea, as well as in lower-volume markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Turkey. Material handling demand in the US and Japan will show renewed strength following a period of relatively sluggish gains, and market advances in Western Europe will also accelerate through 2010. Increases will be fueled by generally favorable economic conditions and higher income levels, leading to a rise in goods consumption and manufacturing production, boosting material handling sales as fixed investment activity climbs.
Advanced products to post more rapid gains than conventional products
Advanced/automated material handling products such as robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) will post the best gains, as will software and high-end services like systems design and project management. These types of products and services can enhance the productivity of the material handling function, and are amenable to integration into larger-scale factory automation and automated warehouse- type environments. Conventional material handling product demand -- such as industrial trucks and lifts, conveyors, hoists, cranes and the like -- will also improve. Developing countries that are exhibiting rapid industrialization will register healthy demand for most types of material handling equipment and systems, both conventional and advanced.
